Final Linking Schools Visit to Lyme Park

We had our final linking schools visit in June. The children really enjoyed themselves and were sad to see the project come to an end. The children had the opportunity to build dens and go on a habitat walk. They learned a lot from these activities and this really supported the development of their team work skills. The children particularly enjoyed their playground experience at lunchtime!!

We have really enjoyed our time with Banks Lane! Thank you for a lovely year!

St John's visit Banks Lane

On Monday 23rd April Year 3 visited Banks Lane as part of our linking schools project. The children did a fantastic job of representing our school. They got stuck into all of the activities and were extremely well behaved and polite. Here is the day in pictures:

The day started with circle time games and a tour around the school. The St John's children were overwhelmed by the size of Banks Lane:

The children then rotated around 4 activities. These were making pirate hats, learning a pirate dance, making a healthy lunch and using the computers to write about their favourite parts of linking schools so far:

The children got to build relationships with children from the other school when playing in the quad at playtime and lunchtime:

The children ate the healthy lunch they had made during the morning's activities whilst catching up with members of Banks Lane:

The day finished off with a treasure hunt and both classes performing the pirate dance together. Thanks to Banks Lane for a fantastic day! We really enjoyed ourselves and cannot wait for our next trip together.

Banks Lane Junior School visits St. John's

On 15th March, children from Banks Lane Junior School visited St. John's Primary School. We had a great day, taking part in activities including drama games, a tour of the school, a nature walk around the common, singing, art, blogging and learning to speak Urdu. The children made some great new friends, and made both schools proud. Well Done!

We had a great day and are looking forward to St. John's visit to Banks Lane on 23rd April!
